This game I'm working on depicts a space adventure TV show. While brainstorming ideas, I came up with a few that would work better as some sort of InSpectres spinoff.

Picture this: Instead of a spirit-chasing franchise, it's a TV show of some kind. The Franchise dice become Nielsen Rating dice, with which you can buy better special effects and so on. Also, if the show doesn't get solid ratings, it goes bye bye.

I don't know what the various cards would convert to. Maybe one would be "good script writers" to make sure the dialogue for social scenes worked well, and another would be "special effects budget," to supply cool gadgets and such. Instead of the Gym Card maybe you'd have personal trainers for the cast, so the audience believes they can do that badass stuff.

So it's a TV series inspired by InSpectres (like a cop show is inspired by police work)? Damn, that's recursive as hell but I like it.

Um, isn't that Nightwatch? OK, only one self-referential step away from Nightwatch?

Nightwatch, at first glance, sounds like a reality show or something. My idea was just for it to be a fictional TV show. The characters would be the actors playing roles in TV episodes, not news reporters.
